Three Pakistani police officers suspended after cat ate prime minister's peacock

Three police officials deployed at Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Jaati Umra residence in Raiwind, on the outskirts of Lahore, were suspended  for negligence on Wednesday.

The police personnel were suspended after a cat devoured one of the several peacocks kept at the residence. A police official said a gardener found the peacock’s body on Tuesday morning on the lawns of the premier’s house where the birds wander freely.



One of the suspended constables said that 21 constables were summoned on Wednesday. He said the constables said they were on duty but did not anticipate a cat eating the peacock at night.

18 security personnel were cleared as they were not manning the lawn but the remaining three police constables were issued formal orders of suspension.

It's really difficult for me to believe the culprit was a cat. Peacocks are big and strong. There's no way a domestic cat could kill one.
